How to draw planets in our solar system

How do you draw a solar system?

Drawing the solar system is easy once you know the size and order of the planets, and it’s a great way to learn about the different properties of the celestial bodies that Earth shares space with. You can even draw the solar system to scale by scaling down the distances between the planets and the sun. Use a ruler for an estimation of the distance.

How do you draw a planet around the Sun?

Every planet in the solar system orbits around the sun. To show this in your drawing, draw a curved path coming off of the top and bottom of each planet. Extend the paths toward the Sun and off the edge of the page to show that each planet travels around the sun. Make sure none of the orbital paths you draw intersect with each other.

How do you draw planets in order?

Make images of the planets in this order from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Sketch rings between the planets to indicate their orbital paths. Draw the Sun near the left side of the page. The sun is the largest body in the solar system, so draw a large circle to represent it.
